"It's like a party for your skis"
-Shane McConkey (never really said that)

Après is closed for the 23/24 season as the owner had to return to his other job . Thank you for an amazing season, we will see you next year starting in November. Cheers!
Ski fast. Take chances.

We may be closed at the request of a venue during large events or holidays

About the shop:

I'm not saying we are the best ski techs in town, but I'm also not NOT saying that... ;)

We set up shop similarly to a food truck and perform high quality while-you-wait service work for skis and boards. You can also call us at (208) 802-5269 if you need someone to come to you for a last minute wax, tune, or emergency repair (as long as we are not already scheduled somewhere else).

Other shops can have a 2 week wait time during peak ski season, our goal is to have your work completed and finished at a higher quality in the time it takes to have a few drinks.

While-You-Drink:

Tired of waiting for your gear to get serviced while the new snow gets tracked out?  We measure our wait time in beers, not weeks. 

We also try our hardest to have the best waxes and tunes. That is why we always finish with multiple passes of a hand wax, scrape, and brush. We use temperature specific wax for the local conditions of wherever you are heading, and can even customize your tune to how you like to ski or ride for no additional charge.  When other shops slam 100 pairs of skis through a machine each day, we do things the old-school way and pay attention to the details.

Tune-Your-Own Clinics:

Think "Tupperware party," except... fun; and I won't try to sell you anything.
...So, I guess its actually nothing like a Tupperware party.

Want to save some money and to learn how to fix your own stuff? Maybe you just need a little hands-on guidance for a specific job? We'd be happy to help. We can teach you how to use your own DIY kit or let you use ours. These events take place at one of the free community benches on Tuesdays through December and January. The benches stay up all ski season... and yes, snowboards are always welcome. The benches are stocked with professional grade tools, wax, and supplies that anyone can use at any time FOR FREE. The clinics are $20, but that money goes back into supplies for the benches.

Parties and Events:

Invite your friends! If you are hosting an event or house party, we can show up with the tools and supplies to teach everyone how to wax and sharpen. If you are looking for more of a hands-off experience, we can come over and work on everyone's gear while you do your thing. We can negotiate a flat rate or just charge the standard prices per job.
